Comcast’s Cyber Value at Risk program, executed using Bay Dynamics’ Risk Fabric platform, enables the company to continuously protect its most valued assets (data, systems and applications) by quantifying the impact of cyber risk based on actual threat and vulnerability data in the environment, and then prioritizing mitigation actions based on those activities that directly address the established risks. The platform automatically delivers relevant threat and vulnerability information to an array of stakeholders responsible for the involved mitigation and continuously measures how much risk is being reduced due to the actions taken. Importantly, Risk Fabric better enables the security team to direct their fixed resources at the most important, and potentially costly, exposures.

After 30+ acquisitions and divestitures in a 3 year period, the team at Allergan sought to completely rebuild, from the ground up, their entire identity & access management platform. This also included updating associated business processes for new hires onboard, contingent worker onboarding, baseline entitlements, provisioning/deprovisioning and access request/approval. Rather than pick an existing, incumbent solution and migrate over, the Allergan team decided to basically throw everything away and start over.

Today organizations are faced with the constant threat of exploit through vulnerabilities in underlying technologies. As hardware and software vulnerabilities are discovered, firms have traditionally prioritized remediation efforts based solely on the criticality rating of the vulnerability. In a complex enterprise environment such as JPMorgan Chase, this approach falls short as it fails to consider business context of the targeted assets. The Vulnerability Scoring Model combines the criticality of the vulnerability (Vx) within the context of business impact at JPMorgan Chase (Sx) to quantify risk and set an informed, targeted remediation path.
